The Korowai tribe of Papua are famous for their extraordinary tree houses, built up to 40 meters (130 feet) high in the rainforest canopy. These towering homes are constructed from wood, vines, and sago leaves, offering safety from floods, insects, and rival tribes. Perched among the treetops, the Korowai live in one of the world’s most remote environments — a breathtaking example of human adaptation and ingenuity deep in the jungles of New Guinea.

The Korowai people of Papua are known for building extraordinary treehouses high above the rainforest floor. Constructed entirely from forest materials and anchored to living trees, some of these homes rise over 100 feet, offering protection from floods, insects, and potential danger. More than shelter, the treehouses reflect Korowai knowledge of the jungle and their deep connection to the forest — turning the canopy itself into a place of daily life, safety, and tradition. #culture #tribe #papu
